Forest River reviews

I am very disappointed in the quality of the Cherokee grey wolf 27rr. When I bought it the water tank was shipped out with a crack in it so we could not boondock on our first trip. Then within a year the slide out had broken luckily under warranty. It is now about 2-1/2 years old and there is a ton of water under the dinette which will be coming out of our pocket to have fixed. I like the layout we chose but for the price, I have towed it to be fixed as many times as it has been out camping. I know the factory warranty is 1 year but I would like to think you should get a couple years of camping with no issues. I also think that a leak like this should be covered by the factory. A car that is driven daily has a better warranty Show less

What piece of garbage. Yes, there are thing I like compared to the one I traded in, but discovered this one is cheaply made. The entry wall is not even straight. Oh well. Guess I got the lemon. But, I don't recommend...there are others out there built better with better warranty service. Show less

Our Work & Play toy hauler obviously works really well for taking our Polaris XP-1000 RZR side-by-side out to the desert or mountains for riding, especially since it has a 30-gallon fuel station built into it. I was always uncomfortable with carrying gas cans inside our previous older to hauler. That being said, the toy hauler does have 2 built-in vents; one that draws in outside air toward the front and one toward the rear that expels the air. The little secret about toy haulers is that they work great for "regular" camping since they are very roomy. We've used it many times for camping trips, and we took it to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons last year and it was great! Unlike many toy haulers that have a bed in one corner of the main area, this one has a separate bedroom on a slide-out adjacent to a large bathroom with a large shower. Being a toy hauler it also has a 98-gallon fresh water tank! We put the patio kit on ours, which makes the ramp into an outdoor patio area, separated by a wide screen to keep bugs out. This is great for BBQ'ing so we didn't have to go up and down the steps each time we needed something from the kitchen. One minor downside to this toy hauler is that it is 8.5 feet wide, so visibility in hindered a bit along the sides of the trailer. However, I equipped ours with a wireless camera and screen which I clip onto the mirror in our truck so it's natural to look at it for a good view of the road behind. The 21LT only weighs 5928 lbs empty (UVW), so it is easily towed by a half ton truck that is geared appropriately. Gas mileage suffers though as the trailer is both wide and tall. Finally, we used a Blue Ox Sway Pro weight distribution hitch which does an amazing job controlling sway, and is also very quiet compared to the friction type hitches. Note that I rated the factory warranty / support as 3-stars based on experience with a previous new Forest River trailer we had bought. We bought this toy hauler used and did not have to used Forest River for any repairs. Show less

We bought our Rockwood new just under 5 years ago. unfortunately, we haven't had the time to really enjoy the unit. it is well-built, attractive and carries the best features. hopefully, we'll sell this unit to some lucky folks quickly, This trailer has everything needed in a smaller, trailer. A 60" x 74" murphy bed doubles as a 74" sofa during the day to accommodate more seating. This unit is equipped with a huge 44" X 85" U shaped dinette for entertaining. You can sleep 4 in this 22'4" trailer while seating 5/6 guests during the day. Also in this trailer is a full bathroom, wardrobe closet, full kitchen with a 12v fridge, and plenty of storage.

Our experience has been very good. It has enough room for a couple of grandboys and a dog. The open concept of the living area allows us to move around while food prep and lounging around. It really works for us as a pair of retirees and a dog, failing eyesight is not going to allow us to continue to travel safely. This 5th wheel is great for retirees or a small family, as it has 2 slide outs and a simple control panel for managing the various components of the trailer. Its setup uses auto leveling control and large, heated water tanks, which makes it sturdy and livable. Inside the trailer is a 50” TV/Entertainment System and an awesome electric fireplace, which gives off great heat and provides an awesome fireplace view. The RV comes with a 23” Blackstone griddle which hooks up on the outside, as well as a TV hookup. The trailer comes with containerized water and waste hoses and connections. Will provide great camping experience, especially for the novice. Show less

Great RV, Barely used, 5500 Miles. Two slides help to open up this motorhome! The kitchen features all of your essentials for cooking delicious meals. The Dream Dinette and theater seating slide not only open up the living area, but also provide comfortable places to eat meals and unwind in front of the 5,000 BTU fireplace and 40" LED TV after a long day of traveling. The half bathroom is close to the kitchen and living area so you don't have to go far for a quick bathroom break. The master suite will have you feeling right at home with a 72" x 80" king bed slide to lay your head on at night with a dresser across from it that also has a 32" LED TV and wardrobes on either side of it with one of them being prepped to add an optional washer and dryer. Plus, you even have access to the full rear bathroom which has a shower with a seat to freshen up in each morning! Show less

We started out with the Georgetown because it is roomy and we were going to be full time rv’ers. We headed out west and saw so many wonderful things my husband did all the driving plus we towed our Jeep with the Blue ox. We left I in May of 2021 and went as far as Montana when my husband took ill around July, drove back to Charlotte to our doctor they found a baseball size tumor on left side of his Brain so driving is now out and we need to sell.

I just purchased the rv in late fall . Haven’t even used it yet . But I highly recommend that you have someone rebuild the queen bed frame before using. I’m not sure it’ would support my little grandkids let alone two adults. Also find a way to tie down the exterior refrigerator as mine was not . Just bouncing around. I also had the lense of one of my rear running lights missing but forest river did send me another which I installed. I’ll update my review once spring comes and I actually get to use it . Show less

Drove our Alpha wolf thru all 48 states in 2 years and with minimal repairs. Had problem with the electrical fuse box (screws not tight enough) creating a slew of problems. A blown tire is Chicago area…. Really bad freeways. And cables for slides misaligned which is getting fix by insurance. Overall my wife and I absolutely love the trailer. I have 1050 watt of solar a Expion lithium battery rated 360 amp ( could use a second one for truly boon docking)we boon docked 45% of our travel. And a Xantrex inverter sw 3012. I towed it with a Ram Laramie 2500 Hemi …. Sorry no diesel for me for many many reasons. Show less

Love the floor plan the most The Queen size murphy bed is both comfortable and versatile. The 11 cu ft refrigerator freezer works great and runs on 12volt as well as 120vac . The outside mini fridge is perfect for cold drinks qnd snacks. you can even keep a few popsicles in the freezer compartment too. The rear bathroom is large and has its own vanity with sink and medicine caninet. The dinette folds into a bed to sleep an adult or two kids. There is an outside shower with hot and cold water, Also a hookup for an lp gas grill. Also a black tank flush. The holding tanks are ample fir this camper. The AC is powerful, and each roof vent has a small fan. The camper is easy to tow. Dry weight is only 3,100 lbs. It has a rechargeable portable bluetooth speaker to listen to music wherever you want. The cabinet doors over the dinette needed two dampers installed to stay up, but those were less than ten dollars. Show less
